Author has written 12 stories for Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Avatar: Last Airbender, and Prince of Persia.

A/N - Hello all!

Thanks for dropping by. My name is Shadowhawke (well, not really, but you know how it is), and I'm a student who's currently trying to survive her second year at University. Let's just say it's shaping up to be yet another rollicking ride. But still, I'm trying to find time to read and write about my four loves; Baldur's Gate, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and most recently, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Prince of Persia. These four are all worlds that have captured my heart so much that I sometimes feel compelled to write about them, and I most certainly feel compelled to read them as well! Of course, recently I've basically been entirely Avatar-focused... as you can see by my stories list, I'm slogging through what looks to be a rather massive piece centred after the war and around the characters we all know and love, as well as the beginnings of a short series of one-shots. Do feel free to have a read. :) And feel very encouraged to leave a review... heh. I must admit, I get an unhealthy amount of satisfaction, encouragement, and general happiness from reviews. _

Buffy/Spike, Katara/Zuko, and the Prince/Elika are my favourite pairings, but I'm usually open to suggestions. Not only that, I seem to have a very strong tendency to focus on character depth and believability in my own mind so much that any romances tend to develop with glacial slowness, so I guess this is an invitation to people who just love the characters to hopefully read and enjoy, regardless of your shipping allegiances. Basically, I'm just a girl who likes playing, writing, and dreaming... and with three incredible worlds such as BG, BtVS, and Avatar, who can ask for more? So I hope you enjoy the work I write, and please feel free to drop in to my Favourites list... there are some absolutely amazing authors and stories there that I've discovered, and I'm always keen on finding more!

Many thanks to the wonderful Ellarose C/luna-wannabe has created two beautiful pictures of Katara in The Alchemy of Fire! Come see them here!

Petunia married a biochemist, and Harry grew up reading science and science fiction. Then came the Hogwarts letter, and a world of intriguing new possibilities to exploit. And new friends, like Hermione Granger, and Professor McGonagall, and Professor Quirrell... COMPLETE.

This is a slowmance between Hawke and Fenris, but it concentrates on the story of DA2 with lots of twists on the canon (especially the timeline) and not a lot of repeating back events of the game word for word. Rated M for language, violence, and giggity situations. Updated Mondays (Usually)

A world filled with treasure and magic, princesses and thieves, flying carpets and dastardly foes, ancient knowledge and dark gods. Accompany an unwilling hero, and his maybe too willing companion on their journey to save the world.

When Bryce Cousland's little spitfire scaled the Tower of Ishal and lit the beacon at the critical moment, King Cailan won a mighty victory against the darkspawn. The Blight, however was far from over. All other origins included, plus Hawke and his companions. Cousland/Loghain, Morrigan/Anders, Surana/Zevran, Fergus/Anora, and more. Half a million hits and still going.

Whenever Hawke thought back on it later – and she had plenty of reasons to – she still thought it was ridiculous. A silly prank war, started over a silly card game... and it got a bit out of hand. Well, that was an understatement. It nearly killed her.

Tragedy strikes Bethany's world when her older sister is killed. Now, the responsibility of her family rests on her shoulders as she struggles to get them safely to Kirkwall. Here, she and the men that grow to love her must travel paths filled with intrigue and deceit, love and betrayal, before they find true happiness. Bethany/Anders/Fenris .

Before Champions and Warriors, they were but children - children with lessons to learn and mistakes to make. But no matter the challenge, no matter the danger, their most pivotal moments were faced as family - as siblings who grew up fighting side by side. The eldest, a jester. The youngest, an underdog. And in the middle of it all is the child who only wants peace. /MageGarrett

A lonely boy hungers for acceptance and success and eventually finds his way at the Circle of Magi in Ferelden. After a time, he finds that his own gifts are not enough. A man does not become a villain overnight. A dark one-shot from Uldred's POV.

When Fenris visited Hawke after dealing with Hadriana, it was his second attempt to tell her how he felt. The first time didn't exactly go to plan due to sparring with a mabari, folded rugs, broken plates, and a traumatised servant.

Bethany Hawke is usually quite capable of guessing templar moods and dodging templar anger - but a search for sunlight leaves her in need of a healer. Solivitus isn't one, but he does have enough potions to soothe a hurt and know how to bottle sunshine.

Ever read a story and ask, "...What?" Well, question no more! Each chapter is a facet of the zutara fandom that has a serious flaw in logic, whether it's purpose is to bring them together or keep them apart. No character bashing. Chap 12 Zuko's Emo Corner

Post DA2: A life on the run is interrupted when something happens to Anders and he is forced to account for the things he's done...things he can't remember doing. How will he rebuild a life he can't remember having with a woman who is a stranger to him?

Hawke needs a few lessons in etiquette and Fenris is the most qualified to help much to the dismay of both parties. Hopefully they can manage not to kill each other in the process. AU. F!Hawke/Fenris Find it in Russian at /readfic/2628013 - huge love to the talented lenokkk x

It's six months after Thea Hawke sided with the templars to gain the seat of Viscountess. She's sure of almost nothing- but Anders definitely wasn't supposed to come back. Continuation of If Wishes Were Poppy Dreams. Hawke/Anders Rivalmance

It was a mission of revenge. There weren't supposed to be any survivors, but Chief Hakoda couldn't bring himself to kill the Fire Nation boy. Against his better judgment, he brought him home. A Zuko joins the Water Tribe story.

The Watchers Academy- where young potential slayers and watchers go to train in demonology, magic, and combat so that they can someday fight vampires, demons, and the forces of evil... ensemble fic, full summary inside

Typical Sokka capture fic. Well, maybe not so typical. Three dangerous ladies, one young man wishing he were a bit more dangerous himself. Rated for strong language and suggestive content. Chapter 23 added...

Souls, like bones, must be broken and reset when they heal badly. Zuko must realize that his actions will have a greater impact than he could have ever imagined, and Katara will discover that the world is far from black and white, good and evil. [Zutara]

After Angel's death, Buffy ran and never returned. Now, over 3 years later, the next Slayer has been killed by Glory, and Buffy is needed again. But she’s returned to people she barely recognizes anymore, and the darkness that surrounds them is growing...

He wanted to keep her, even though he was not supposed to. He promised her freedom, and she promised him sanity in his own household. She kept her part of the bargain, but he found a way not to keep his. Toph & Aang. Taang. RATED M. COMPLETE.

Chaos threatens the Sword Coast beyond the walls of the library fortress of Candlekeep, the primary export of war, iron, having grown scarce and brittle. As the lands plunge into the depths of fear and strife, an orphan is suddenly thrust along with them.

As a spirit, Yue has many responsibilities. This includes the predictable moon business, as well as the duties of a romance spirit. So, when her friends obliviously cling to people who aren't their proper matches, it's up to Yue to set things right.

Sequel to Prison Conversations. Sokka attempts to rejoin Aang, et al, after escaping from a Fire Nation prison. This is complicated, or maybe assisted, by his being accompanied by Prince Zuko. Rated for language and adult themes.

COMPLETE - Almost 4 years after the war. Aang is engaged to Katara and is up to Zuko to teach him the facts of life. Yep, the bees and the birds. Crazy kings, bananas and the ultimate contest for the hand of a reluctant maiden. Zutara/Taang

Sometimes he wins. Sometimes she wins. But to the victor go the spoils. Who will come out on top next? Zuko and Katara and the hard knocks they suffer when they refuse to learn from each other. Rated T to be safe. COMPLETE

Loose ends left by the weaver present the problem of someone else having to tie them off…or pull a string and unravel the fabric entirely. I’ve decided to pull. Post-war story based on the canon series and the plot-holes found within it.

More often than not, Katara and Zuko have conversations that were later edited because people like them shouldn't have anything in common. A collection of missing scenes. In the latest chapter, Katara learns that kissing solves nothing. Set after EIP.

Sequel to Parts of a Whole. Five years later the Fire Lord's inner circle navigates the often bruising, often beautiful path of life. Epic drabble series. ZukoKatara, TophHaru, AangTy Lee and more! Avatar's property of Nickelodeon not me!

Ten years have passed since Sozin’s war ended. Alliances must be forged between embittered nations, and Katara must marry to keep stable the peace. But can she ever find love in the arms of an old enemy? Zutara

The path to "true love" isn't running very smoothly for Zuko and Katara. They've been at each other's throats since he joined the GAang. Something's got to give! Can they be friends...Or will their feelings get in the way? ZUTARA short chapters

Coauthored by fuzzytomato. Troubled over his newly restored honor, Zuko finds solace in the familiar guise of the Blue Spirit. In a chance meeting with the Painted Lady, a friendship is forged as the two heroes seek to help the Fire Nation's neglected.

After Ba Sing Se Zuko is given a chance to redeem himself. With the help of Guru Pathik he sets out to open the seven chakras. Along the way he confronts painful truths about his past and himself, as well as experiencing the power of forgiveness and love.

Oneshot. Set about six years in the future. Iroh reminisces a bit. Zuko, Katara, Aang, Toph, and Sokka look back on where their lives have brought them. Iroh, Zutara, onesided Kataang, Taang, onesided Tokka, Sukka.

Takes place after the season 2 finale. By orders of Fire Lord Ozai, Iroh is to be beheaded. Determined to return the favor, Aang is prepared to rescue. But what will Zuko do? This is a story about the banished prince trying to find his way.

Five years after victory old friends reunite for a coronation, a surprise courtship and a celebration of a life well lived. Rated T for eventual language and violence. Avatar world & characters belong to Nickelodeon. I'm just borrowing them.

Zuko and Katara seem to have an endless supply of things to fight about, like bad haircuts and a poor understanding of the color spectrum, but a change in battle tactics makes their war far more interesting. Utter crack takes on human form as... Zutara!

Toph has two choices: Go home and get married or have the family fortune and her inheritence given to a stranger. The problem: She wants to keep her ties to her family, but is quite content traveling with Aang.

In the aftermath of Ba Sing Se's fall, everyone keeps moving forwards. And they keep moving forward because that is all they know how to do...in spite of the twists that the past likes to throw their way. Taang, Zutara, Sukka.

A night out to try and forget Angel's meddling in her life leads Buffy down a different path than the one she had planned. Old faces are like new again, and what's new is most definitely old. B&S, set AtS S5.

Rebuilding a nation requires sacrifices. Knowing that the Fire Nation would never accept a Waterbender as it's Lord's wife, Katara removes herself from her fledgling romance with Zuko and encourages him to find greatness with Fire Nation noble Mai. Zutara

A prison in the Fire Nation occupied territory of the Earth Kingdom. Two unlikely boys, enemies, with death sentences. Nothing to do but talk together. And perhaps, together, find a way to escape. Friendship, rated for language and adult themes. Complete
